Moving On from Middle School

June 20, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. Since many public schools hold their graduation ceremonies this week, this week’s theme is graduation.

Today’s poem is a middle-school graduation poem about moving on.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Moving on from middle school.

Growing up, I guess.

Going on to high school.

Happy, more or less.

Sometimes life is like that.

Leaving stuff behind.

Nothing much remaining.

Memories in the wind.

Yes, sometimes life is like that.

Here and then it’s gone.

That’s OK. I’m ready.

Moving, moving on.
